HAVE YOU USED MURAD SKIN CARE??

SO I AM THINKING ABOUT BUYING DR. MURAD'S SKIN CARE LINE. I AM IN MY 30'S AND I BATTLE OCCASIONAL BREAKOUTS AND OF COURSE MY SKIN NEEDS SOME HELP. I HAVE USED PROACTIVE AND DID NOT LIKE IT, ANYWAY I HAVE TRIED ALL THE OVER THE COUNTER STUFF AND NOTHING. MURAD IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE A SKIN CARE LINE FOR OLDER SKIN ABD WORK GREAT, DOES ANYONE USE IT AND HOW DO YOU LIKE IT???

Before buying or selling any body care products, it is important to check the safety of the ingredients. I like the Skin Deep database maintained by the Environmental Working Group (the folks who publish the guide to pesticides in produce). http://www.ewg.org/

Avon and Mary Kay, among others, make a big public show of their support of breast cancer research and victims, yet refuse to stop using cancer causing ingredients in their products.

Here is how my teen handles her acne: wash your face twice a day with a very mild soap (like unscented baby soap) and a soft wash cloth; follow with a light, oil free moisturizer (she uses Lush). Once a day, before you wash your face, put on a honey mask (just honey, a great anti-bacterial). Every three days add a pinch of baking soda to the honey to exfoliate. Check back with me in two weeks and tell me how this worked.

AGREE WITH YOU ON THE SAFETY THING, I HAVE ALREAY CHECKED A BUNCH OF COMPANIES ON THE SAFE COSMETICS SITE, SCARY WHAT THEY PUT IN TO STUFF. I THINK I MIGHT TRY THE NATURAL STUFF THEY HAVE ON MERCOLA'S SITE! I ALREADY SWITCHED OUR TOOTHPASTE AND SHAMPOO/SOAP TO NATURAL INGREDIENTS, BUT MY AGED SKIN AND ACNE ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!
